Every year, the Atlantic hurricane season casts a long shadow, a time when coastal communities brace for potential devastation. But for the past two decades, FedEx and Direct Relief have been working together to turn preparedness into action. "We've formed a powerful partnership that delivers critical aid exactly where and when it's needed most" said April Britt, Director, FedEx Global Citizenship.
每年，大西洋颶風季節都帶來了很長的陰影，這是沿海社區爲潛在的破壞做好準備的時間。但是，聯邦快遞和直接援助在過去20年中一直在合作，致力於將準備工作變成行動。"我們建立了一個強大的合作關係，可以在最需要的時候準確地提供關鍵援助"，聯邦快遞全球公民身份主管艾普麗爾·布里特說。
Our story began in 2002, a long-term commitment forged in the shared desire to help communities weather the storms, both literally and figuratively. FedEx, the logistics giant with a global reach, offered the perfect complement to Direct Relief's mission of delivering essential medical supplies. Together, we've been innovators in disaster relief efforts, from the early days of the collaboration to our award-winning innovative medical backpack initiative.
我們的故事始於2002年，這是一項長期承諾，旨在共同幫助社區抵禦風暴的侵襲，無論是字面意義上的還是比喻性的。作爲全球覆蓋範圍巨大的物流巨頭，聯邦快遞爲直接援助運送基本醫療用品的任務提供了完美的補充。我們一起成爲了災難救援工作的創新者，從合作早期到我們屢獲殊榮的創新醫療揹包計劃。
"These backpacks are lifesavers" said Thomas Tighe, CEO, Direct Relief. "Packed with vital medical supplies and designed for first responders, they ensure communities have immediate access to critical care in the chaotic aftermath of a disaster." The program's success was recognized in 2012 with the National Partnership Award from the Office of the U.S. Surgeon General, a testament to the impact of our combined efforts.
直接援助的首席執行官托馬斯·蒂格說:"這些揹包是挽救生命的"。"這些揹包裝滿了重要的醫療用品，是專門爲急救人員設計的，確保社區在災後混亂的情況下立即獲得關鍵醫療護理。"我們的合作計劃在2012年榮獲了美國衛生部外科主任辦公室的全國合作伙伴獎，這證明了我們的共同努力的影響。
With the 2024 hurricane season predicted to be an active one, our work is more crucial than ever. As June 1st marked the season's official start, FedEx and Direct Relief are already on high alert, our logistical expertise and medical resources strategically prepositioned for rapid deployment.
隨着預測2024年颶風季節將是活躍的，我們的工作比以往任何時候都更爲重要。隨着6月1日的正式開始，聯邦快遞和直接援助已經處於高度戒備狀態，我們的物流專業知識和醫療資源已經被戰略性地預置，以便快速部署。
This preparedness extends beyond the hurricane season. September is National Preparedness Month, a timely reminder for everyone to take action and be ready for any unexpected event. By working together, FedEx and Direct Relief are not just delivering vital supplies, we're delivering hope - the hope of a swift recovery and a brighter tomorrow for communities facing disaster.
這種準備工作不僅僅在颶風季節。九月是國家應急月，這是一個及時的提醒，提醒每個人採取行動，準備應對任何意外事件。通過聯邦快遞和直接援助的合作，我們不僅僅提供關鍵物資，更提供希望-希望能夠快速恢復，爲面對災難的社區帶來更光明的未來。
